Mohawk Industries Reports Q3 Results
CALHOUN, Ga., Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MHK) today announced third quarter 2024 net earnings of $162 million and earnings per share (“EPS”) of $2.55; adjusted net earnings were $184 million, and adjusted EPS was $2.90. Net sales for the third quarter of 2024 were $2.7 billion, a decrease of 1.7% as reported and 2.1% on an adjusted basis versus the prior year. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company reported net sales of $2.8 billion, a net loss of $760 million and a loss per share of $11.94; adjusted net earnings were $174 million, and adjusted EPS was $2.72. The Company’s prior-year earnings were impacted by non-cash impairment charges of $876 million in the third quarter of 2023.
For the nine months ended September 28, 2024, net earnings and EPS were $425 million and $6.66, respectively; adjusted net earnings were $494 million, and adjusted EPS was $7.75. Net sales for the first nine months of 2024 were $8.2 billion, a decrease of 3.8% as reported and 4.0% on an adjusted basis versus the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported net sales of $8.5 billion, a net loss of $579 million and a loss per share of $9.10; adjusted net earnings were $462 million, and adjusted EPS was $7.23.
Commenting on the Company’s third quarter results, Chairman and CEO Jeff Lorberbaum stated, “We delivered a solid performance in soft market conditions, which reflects the positive impact of our sales initiatives, productivity and restructuring actions as well as lower input costs, partially offset by pricing and mix pressure. Due to our increased earnings and management of working capital, we generated free cash flow of $204 million in the quarter, for a total of $443 million year to date. This year, we are investing approximately $450 million in capital projects focused on growth, reducing costs and asset maintenance.
In all our regions, market conditions were slower than anticipated given high interest rates, lingering inflation and lower consumer confidence. During the quarter, our sales initiatives delivered volume gains in many product categories, offset by pricing pressures and negative mix. Though the commercial channel has lost some momentum as the year progressed, it continued to outperform residential.
In our markets, central banks are shifting from a restrictive policy to a more balanced approach to stimulate their economies, which should benefit our industry as consumer and business spending expands. We expect that recent interest rate cuts in the U.S., Europe and Latin America will strengthen housing markets and increase flooring sales next year.
We remain focused on managing the controllable aspects of our business to enhance our results. With gross margins under pressure from weaker industry demand, all of our businesses are implementing strategies to maximize volumes and plant utilization. To increase sales, we are launching innovative new products, marketing initiatives and promotional activities. We are enhancing productivity and exercising disciplined cost management in all aspects of the business. We are executing the restructuring initiatives that we announced last quarter, which are expected to yield more than $100 million of annualized savings. These actions include rationalizing inefficient assets, streamlining distribution, and reducing administrative costs. These projects will continue throughout next year to achieve our planned savings.
For the third quarter, the Global Ceramic Segment reported a 3.1% decline in net sales as reported, or a 2.2% decline on an adjusted basis, versus the prior year. The Segment’s operating margin was 7.9% as reported, or 8.6% on an adjusted basis. The Segment’s margins expanded due to increased productivity, while lower material and energy costs offset labor and freight inflation. We are enhancing our mix by leveraging industry-leading printing, polishing and rectifying technology to deliver collections with differentiated visuals. In addition to our restructuring projects, we are executing many cost containment initiatives, including product reformulations, process enhancements and improved administrative efficiencies. The U.S. Department of Commerce expects the preliminary anti-dumping decision relative to ceramic tile from India to be rendered in November 2024, with tariffs potentially retroactive to August 2024. In the U.S., we increased our builder partnerships by providing a complete product offering and superior service. Our quartz countertops are outperforming other work surfaces, and we will start up our new production next year. In Europe, our volumes exceeded the prior year, and product mix from advanced technologies and expanded participation in the commercial channel partially offset pricing pressures. We have announced targeted price increases in Mexico, and volume in Brazil has begun to strengthen.
During the third quarter, our Flooring Rest of the World Segment’s net sales decreased by 3.5% as reported, or 6.3% on an adjusted basis, versus the prior year. The Segment’s operating margin was 9.9% as reported, or 10.5% on an adjusted basis. This year, the Segment did not see its usual sales improvement in Europe after summer holidays due to continued weakness in the economy. In response to current conditions, we are reducing operational and administrative costs, simplifying SKU complexity and enhancing logistics operations. To optimize volumes, we executed promotional activities, which pressured both our pricing and mix, partially offset by lower input costs. In slowing markets, our insulation and panels businesses faced increased competition as new industry capacity came online, which impacted pricing. In Australia and New Zealand, we improved pricing and mix in our carpet collections, though volumes remained under pressure.
In the third quarter, our Flooring North America Segment’s sales increased 1.2% versus the prior year. The Segment’s operating margin was 7.5% as reported, or 9.1% on an adjusted basis. We believe we are outperforming the overall market, with sales and margins improving over the prior year and increased volume partially offsetting lower pricing and mix. We are retiring high-cost equipment and exiting underperforming product categories while investing in capital projects that have short paybacks. Sales of our LVT and laminate collections grew as consumers embraced our new products with enhanced performance features. We continue to deliver product innovation with a new resilient plank flooring technology that is environmentally friendly and provides greater stability and performance. Our commercial sales were led by our carpet tile collections that offer industry-leading sustainability and award-winning designs inspired by nature.
Global conflicts, political uncertainty and inflation are weighing on consumer confidence and discretionary spending around the world. Short-term macroeconomic conditions remain unpredictable, and we do not anticipate an industry improvement this year. Demand remains weak, and each of our product categories and markets faces unique economic situations. Our mix is impacted by consumers trading down and by new construction outpacing the higher value remodeling channels. We are responding to current conditions with sales and restructuring actions, operational improvements and cost containment initiatives to strengthen our business. We continue to pursue volume through innovative product introductions, marketing programs and promotional activity to leverage our fixed cost structure. In some products, we are seeing raw material inflation that will increase our costs in the fourth quarter. As we end the year, we expect to reduce our manufacturing levels to manage our inventory, increasing our unabsorbed overhead. We anticipate the recent U.S. hurricanes will negatively impact our fourth quarter sales by $25 to $40 million with offsetting benefits from rebuilding next year. Given these factors and the effect of seasonality, we anticipate our fourth quarter adjusted EPS to be between $1.77 and $1.87, excluding any restructuring or other one-time charges.
We remain confident in the fundamentals of our business and our strategy to improve our results. In 2025, we anticipate demand in all of our markets improving as interest rates decline and consumer spending in the category accelerates across the world. Elevated home equity levels will provide property owners with resources to renovate their residences. All of our regions require significant new home construction, and we have grown our participation in this channel. Commercial construction and remodeling should also expand as financing becomes more affordable and investment returns increase. As our markets recover, we will leverage the extensive improvement that we have implemented to maximize our sales and margins.”

The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, with certain non-GAAP financial measures. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the tables above present a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure. Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to the comparable US GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when reconciled to the corresponding US GAAP measure, help its investors as follows: Non-GAAP revenue measures that assist in identifying growth trends and in comparisons of revenue with prior and future periods and non-GAAP profitability measures that assist in understanding the long-term profitability trends of the Company's business and in comparisons of its profits with prior and future periods.
The Company excludes certain items from its non-GAAP revenue measures because these items can vary dramatically between periods and can obscure underlying business trends. Items excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP revenue measures include: foreign currency transactions and translation; more or fewer shipping days in a period and the impact of acquisitions.
The Company excludes certain items from its non-GAAP profitability measures because these items may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company's core operating performance. Items excluded from the Company's non-GAAP profitability measures include: restructuring, acquisition and integration-related and other costs, legal settlements, reserves and fees, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, acquisition purchase accounting, including inventory step-up from purchase accounting, adjustments of indemnification asset, adjustments of uncertain tax position and European tax restructuring.
